Manchester United: 5 key players who should be kept at all costs next season

#2 Paul Pogba

Pogba has starred prominently under Solskjaer

It is no secret that the Frenchman has become one of Europe's hottest properties recently. Every top clubs has now been linked with the flamboyant star as he has seen a meteoric rise in his productivity under Solskjaer. Pogba has been involved in amazing 25 goals in all competitions this season although he has played mostly as a central midfielder.

An agile and sharp playmaker with endless vision, Pogba would easily slot as a regular in any club. Giants such as Real Madrid have now seemed to wait for the chance to snatch the former Juventus player. Due to the star's ever-increasing importance for the club, United would not have many options left except to do anything possible to convince Pogba to stay.

#1 David De Gea

The goalkeeper has returned to the top of his game

Arguably the best goalkeeper in the world this season, De Gea has been no less than the best hero for Manchester United. Despite a disappointing World Cup display, the Spaniard has 'singlehandedly' saved the Red Devils from certain defeats at occasions with his outstanding saves.

It is no secret that United's defense has been woeful at most of the times due to their center back's tendency to make simple mistakes. Solskjaer has rotated between Phil Jones, Chris Smalling, and Eric Bailly to partner with Lindelof at occasions. Hence, De Gea has been forced to be at his best consistently in order to take United to where they belong now.

Unfortunately, the 28-year-old is still yet to sign a contract extension. United also have an option to extend the goalkeeper's contract for a further year but they surely should keep him at all costs by offering a new long-term deal.
